Wow, what a beautiful ride experience you shared with all of them.

[@newtagwhodis4535]

@@mcovarrubiasc if only the tips (I live off of to make this job effort make any sense financially) reflected it. Chicago. 1/12 tip anything, even a penny. Tip your drivers please if you see this. Lyft and Uber pocket consistently 60-70% of the ride fare. I keep only 30-40%. Don’t forget us while we have your lives in our stressed hands for a few minutes. Still an exploitive scam. 1 year in…

[@newtagwhodis4535]

@@mcovarrubiasc it’s uniquely American to not tip, btw. Foreigners always do. When I hear an accent when they get in, it nearly makes my day. At least it makes my heart content on the ride, all the while knowing the next sloppy, bossy Karen or Ken make requests and demands, while coughing with no mask, then shirks off even saying thanks to me after perfect performance and comfort and effort. Please remember this. This is a regular occurrence. Some of us really do try. We’re being failed, please don’t contribute to the anti-labor norm that’s being shaped in America. We see the wage by changes in regular fares decrease, making it one week, 30$ per hour to the next, 36 minutes drive = 6-8$. It’s theft.

[@D2xJFilms]

my thoughts in this after seeing it like 5 times in the past 24 hours: - "Last Card" is one of those tunes that will accompany me for a long time to come - if I think about it probaply this entire record and this live version will - "beautiful" is the only word that describes this accurately which makes this whole commet obsolte - i think I'm gonna buy myself some carhartt apparel now

13:09 Nobody listens anymore What are we talking for? We've been here before Do we want more? But if the morning waits for the sun Well when it's all said and done will we all become one? Look what we've become [Verse 2] Most of us barely even care We're all in our own despair All in life is fair but tell me how did you get there? And as the evening waits on the stars Someone is travelling far, never mind who they've left at home So why are we alone? [Verse 3] We're only people, we're only what we were taught to be Children become what they see, so what about me? How can we be far when we're so near? Well, maybe sometime next year I heard that you're fine my dear And when I call I hope that you'll still be here
